While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.

The only laws I saw that were broken were on the side of the so called investigation.
Illegal surveillance, illegal warrants issued by one of the most secretive courts in the land. And on and on.
This was recorded by the "Russian collusion" investigation and when the FBI came and asked him about it he told them he hadn't. The question in my mind is what business the FBI had asking about diplomatic overtures of the incoming administration? There is no reason to consider it a crime (no one has EVER been convicted under the Logan Act).
We all understand that perjury is a crime and if you are "under oath" you are alerted to be honest in your comments. But Obstruction of Justice covers any discussion. The FBI agents interviewing Flynn (with the wiretaps in hand) made a point of being casual about the discussion to attempt to get him to "Obstruct them". And really, if they knew the contents of the call how did him not confirming it "Obstruct" anything?
Obstruction of Justice is one of those crimes that they can be pretty much guaranteed to get you for if you talk long enough. You don't even have to lie, they can just disagree and say that what you said was a lie.
This "disavow" racists is nonsense, he has done so repeatedly. If you are public figure lots of weird kooks will support you intermingled in the normal group. You have no obligation to spend your time disavowing them -- unless they become prominent.
He says confusing things that sound racist. It leaves open the legitimate possibility that he's just incoherent and meant something else. But that fact that he is slow to disavow racist supporters moves him solidly into racism. I have more respect for racists who wrongly believe the races are different are open about their incorrect beliefs than I do those who coyly make people uncomfortable and then say because their words were unclear you cannot prove they were racist.
I reject the premise the offensive racism are the same.
I'm not following. Does this mean if you cannot prove a criminal act, you there cannot be obstruction of justice? I could see it working that way to prevent prosecutors and police from tricking suspects into obstructing justice.
Yes. I have to search even the basic vocabulary.
So, who does Trump criticize because of the color of their skin?
Why do you call him a racist?

None of this has anything to do with President Trump's racist clown show. Other groups,e.g. neo-communists, are not responsible for his nasty, attention-seeking ways.
